About Me

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

G'day Ewe

Sheep Shearers from Australia did the honors. The man in back is kicking a sheared fleece out the hatch while the others are shearing. The seasons being reversed makes a longer season for them to ply their trade on two continents. Their portable shearing station is of ingenious design. I enjoyed the diversity. Aboriginal, Native American, Australian, and Wyomingites all working, joking and breaking bread together. The Ewes seemed glad to lose some of their insulation although the weather here is very unpredictable. Snow one day, and hot the next. Posted by Picasa
